So: when you type ‘video downloads canada‘ into Google, take a guess as to what is in the top position. iTunes? Amazon Unbox? Xbox Live Marketplace? I mean, it’s gotta’ be something big right? The site of a large corporation who offer mainstream Hollywood movies and TV shows? Hell, at least it’ll be the CBC, offering free episodes of On the Road Again or Little Mosque on the Prairie? Right?

No, dear Canadians, if you, a resident of a country with one of the highest broadband penetration rates in the world, are out looking for video downloads, you get…. wait for it… This blog you’re reading right now. Specifically, this post.

And hey, from a totally neutral, unbiased perspective, this blog is awesome – possibly the greatest blog ever written, anywhere. I just, errr, don’t have any video downloads for you. And that, my friends, is a seriously sad commentary on the digital distribution business in Canada.

[Update]: Okay, now this blog is like #6 on that list – point still holds though, as Unbox – which isn’t available in Canada! – is #1]
